Ludlow GSO Permanent Transfer Tape [Extended Liner]

Ludlow GSO Permanent Transfer Tape (Extended Liner) is a permanent, unsupported synthetic rubber transfer tape supplied on a 42# silicone-coated Kraft release liner (red print). It provides a permanent surface to surface bond and has strong initial tack and high overall adhesion. It will also not bleed through lightweight materials. The liner on the tape can be easily removed because it has a non-adhesive or finger lift dry edge on each side of the tape (there is 3/32 inch of liner overhang on each side of the tape so a 1 inch wide roll would become 13/16 inch width of adhesive tape once the liner is removed). Application uses include paper to paper attachments; signs & posters; envelope sealing & direct mail pieces; paper web splicing; labels & business forms; high speed presses & collators; and spot & strip tape applications. The release liner is printed with the words "TO EXPOSE ADHESIVE REMOVE LINER" which makes it ideal when the tape is put on items being sent to end users.

Please note since these are machine length rolls this tape is reverse wound (the adhesive is on the outside of the rolls) . Also the photo for this product is not showing the full-length machine rolls, but shorter length sample material.

** Adhesive tape products are NOT guaranteed to be splice-free. Sizes shipped will typically be the tape industry standard metric-cut sizes, i.e. 24mm for each 1 inch of nominal tape width ordered (rolls are approximately 5% narrower than the nominal size). Please contact us to inquire about pricing for full-cut widths; e.g. a 6 inch roll cut to 152mm instead of 144mm.

** special order sizes are not returnable (and non-cancelable if material has been ordered or cut before the cancellation request was made)

** special order sizes for this item typically ship direct from our supplier so will not ship together with stocked products

** minimum requirements are due to the fact that the product size is non-stock ** if a particular size has a minimum item requirement please only purchase that size in multiples of that minimum, e.g. if the minimum is 12 then purchase as 12, 24, 36, etc.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).

natural rubber

Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.

acrylic

Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.

silicone

Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.

zinc oxide

Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
